I have a hi power on my car and i like it. Nice deep tone, i just wish it was a little bit louder outside of the car.

^^this is the reason why i passed on the HKS.. if you want to be low key, an angled out exhaust draws a lot of unwanted attention whether it is positive or negative.

i hate the look of the huge can on the hks.

i really like the look of the greddy, or the injen SES.

not as big of a can but you still get some good sound.

I have the HKS also, i love it. There are usually a few to be found for sale in the ppc, but if you get it used youll need the 3rd bracket to hang it properly. I had to go to an exhaust shop and weld on a hook.

let me get in here to represent the greddy!!
i was debating between the 2 and the reason for why i went greddy
not to diss HKS in anyways or to insult any member because i have never dealt with any of the products but i knew greddy was good quality product with great customer service

i wasnt a big fan of the angle design of the HKS

and from what i could tell the greddy was louder

so for the reasons i went with greddy but after having the greddy install was so easy and fitment is perfect and no bumper burn(ill attach pics), the burnt tip i think gives it a little added look and the sound is nice and deep but isnt very loud like i thought it was going to be so soon hopefully ill get a new S pipe and mid pipe

fitment to the bumper and no burns
